Error Running Android Project in Intellij IDEA

Question

When I run my android project in Intellij IDEA using an AVD I get this error

android-apt-compiler: Cannot run program "/Users/myAccount/Documents/android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/aapt": error=2, No such file or directory

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Yeah according to Simon in Android Hello-World compile error: Intellij cannot find aapt "It appears that the latest update to the r22 SDK release moved aapt and the lib jar from the platform-tools to the build-tools directory. While we wait for JetBrains to release an update, here's a quick fix using a couple of symbolic links for Unix users:

From your AndroidSDK/platform-tools directory, run the following:

ln -s ../build-tools/17.0.0/aapt aapt
ln -s ../build-tools/17.0.0/lib lib

...and IntelliJ should be able to compile as normal. "

Unfortunately copying is the easier way around this on windows... unless you use something like

mklink /H C:\Users\Tom\androidsdk\build-tools\17.0.0\aapt.exe C:\Users\Tom\androidsdk\platform-tools\aapt.exe

in the command prompt to attempt to make a hard link window's style of the file to your platform tools folder.

caveat I haven't tried this though...

我通过将所有文件从android-sdk / build-tools / 17.0.0复制到platform-tools文件夹来解决WIn上的这个问题。
